  C#m                               A                Ab
I must have left my house at eight, because I always do
   Ab                                 Ab               
My train i,m certain left the station just when it was 
C#m
due
  C#m                              C#m        B
I must have read the morning paper going into town
B                             B         B         
Having gotten through the editorial, no doubt i,m I 
            E
must have frowned
  E                     E         E             B
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
     B                       B               B         
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to
    E
 be signed

E   A                 A        Ab                 C#m
  I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
          F#m              F#m
The usual place, the usual bunch
    F#                              F#m               
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have 
Ab
rained
                   C#m
The day before you came

  C#m                      A                      Ab
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
    Ab                                     C#m
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
  C#m                                                
I must have kept on dragging through the business of 
    B
the day
B                                                 
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me 
  E
away
   E                                                  
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the 
B
rule
  B                                                    
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished
 E
 school

    A
The train back home again
  C#m                            F#m
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
   F#m                                             
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual 
Ab
frame
                   C#m
The day before you came

C#m          Ab
Ohhhhh  ohhh ohhh
F#m   B     C#m
Ohhhhhhhhh  hhhhhh
C#m     C#m      Ab      C#m
Ahhhhh  Ahhhhh   Ahhhh   Ahhhhh

  C#m                               A                Ab
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
    Ab                                                
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to 
C#m
go
    C#m                                        B
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
        B                                              
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I
        E
 didn't see
  E                                            B
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
  B                                                  
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by 
E
then

CHORUS

E   A                          Ab            E       
  I must have read a while the latest one by Marilyn 
          F#m
French or something in that style
     F#m                                         Ab
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
                   C#m
The day before you came

And turning out the light
  C#m                                 F#m
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
    F#m                                              Ab
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of
 rain
                   C#m
The day before you came

C#m          Ab
Ohhhhh  ohhh ohhh
F#          C#m
